Los Angeles, Calif. – (July 22, 2013) – Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., the leading provider of credit building and credibility solutions for businesses, today announced it has opened registration for its Access to Capital: Money to MainstreetEvent to be held in Atlanta at the Hyatt Regency on Wednesday, August 14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Access to Capital: Money to Mainstreet fosters lending and educates small business owners about many types of financing that may be available to them. The event provides expert panels and speakers, as well as on-site one-on-one meetings with a wide spectrum of business lenders. The first two Access to Capital events, held in Los Angeles in October 2012 and most recently in Chicago on May 22nd, have resulted in tens of millions in loan originations to small business attendees.

With 99 percent of registered businesses in Georgia classified as small businesses – and 86 percent of these employing fewer than five employees – the need for capital to help stimulate growth is apparent.

“To keep small businesses growing in Georgia, they need access to capital. Our hope in creating these events is to bridge the disconnect between these small businesses and the lenders who are providing capital,” said Jeff Stibel, Chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.

The event is comprised of two main areas – the “town hall” for speakers, spotlight series, and panels – and the “financial district” where small business owners can meet with numerous lenders, legal experts, business resources, and advisors. Key sponsors include Bank of America, Microsoft, AEO, LegalZoom, eVerifile, Merchant Cash and Capital, and Frontier Capital.

Panels and presentations will include entrepreneur and lending experts on both a local and national level including:

Registration for the event includes a free copy of your business credit report—a requirement for many lenders—as well as the opportunity to consult with a Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. certified Credit Advisor to prepare for the lending appointments.
